There's a former B&M supervisor in the GB thread who said shops won't all get these simultaneously. It'll be whenever their 'brown box' (household goods) delivery comes in for the week, which for some shops may not be until next week.

Well the announcement said they would be end of the month rather than a specific date, so fair enough.

Yeah, remember this is B&M. There's no specific release date for these, it's just when shops get them. Looking at GB it seems they've appeared predominantly in the south, although there may have been a few sets in one of the Edinburgh shops briefly. Someone who works at B&M also said their central warehouse listed 4000 of the seventh doctor 3 pack sets ready to go out, so I'd imagine once the initial rush dies down these will be around quite readily for a while. The GB thread on this is quite intense, Who fans get riled very quickly don't they! Although it appears a scalper bought a shop's entire stock and then posted a picture to gloat. Some people are really weird.
No one's had either of the Sontaran sets yet, so no Harry Sullivans or orange eyebrow Second Doctors out yet.

The 13th Doctor 'Adventure Doll' was seen half priced so I grabbed it. She has weak knees and the boots don't quite sit flat so is a pain to pose without her falling over or leaning backwards. A shame as the likeness is very good.

FUUUUUUUUCKKKK!!!!
Found all the new box sets in B&M Glossop EXCEPT the one I desire: McGann!!!!
ARRRHGGHHHH.
Far less of the other two BF sets than the other new releases and some space on the shelf so I reckon the McGann's were plundered.
I am not happy!
I did not know the War Doctor Sonic Screwdriver toy existed until I saw it.

Apparently the Harry set is out now too, but I have not had a chance to check my local shop.

I have procured the imbecile Harry Sullivan from B&M. A check this afternoon revealed only the 3 figure packs, nothing else in stock, but I got the two I was missing - the Harry set and the The Two Doctors set. The orange eyebrowed Troughton figure is extremely pleasing and I now have more Sontarans than I know what to do with.
Disturbing to see no Dalek packs or either of the TARDIS sets, but I daresay there's restocking to be done yet after the initial deliveries.

I enjoy how the Two Doctors set only has one Doctor in it

This is true. However I have enough Sixth Doctors (seven of them!) and you can never have enough Peri's. This is probably the nicest deco Peri has had.

At the 7th B&M of trying I found the desired McGann set so swooped!
Really fancy the Sontaran/Harry Sullivan set but they had loads of them so that can wait until next pay cycle. There were only 3 McGanns and they've been a bugger to find so prioritised that.

The B&M... er... just off junction two of the M80 had a few sets at the weekend. Lots of War Doctor and Dalek, a couple of McGanns, a couple of McCoys, and LOTS of the Troughton/Peri/Cyberman set, lots of the McCoy and Two Cybermen set, and a few of the Twelfth and Bill and someone else set, the Baker and Auton and someone else set, and the Smith and Oswin and someone else set. Also some of those old, simple sonic screwdrivers, but repackaged.
If people are after any of these I'm happy to keep an eye out. Or maybe even return to that promised land...

Have one on the bookcase making his way across to The Great Gonzo and Admiral Ackbar.
